Franz Joseph Haydn[a] (HY-dən; German:[ˈfʁantsˈjoːzɛfˈhaɪdn̩]ⓘ; 31 March[b] 1732 – 31 May 1809) was an Austrian composer of the Classical period. He was instrumental in the development of chamber music such as the string quartet and piano trio.[2] His contributions to musical form have led him to be called "Father of the Symphony" and "Father of the String quartet".

Haydn arose from humble origins, the child of working people in a rural village. He established his career first by serving as a chorister at St. Stephen's Cathedral, Vienna, then through an arduous period as a freelance musician. Eventually he found career success, spending much of his working life as music director for the wealthy Esterházy family at their palace of Eszterháza in rural Hungary. Though he had his own orchestra there, it isolated him from other composers and trends in music so that he was, as he put it, "forced to become origin

Haydn biography by a Milanese musician from the time of the Napoleonic wars

Haydn Biography by a Milanese Musician from the Time of the Napoleonic Wars Katalin Szerző Hungarian Academy of Arts Pf. 242, H-1368 Budapest, Hungary E-mail: szerzo.katalin@gmail.com (Received: September 2016; accepted: November 2016) Abstract: The article discusses the German translation of Giuseppe Carpani’s Haydn biography of 1812. While notes on Haydn by the two German biographers Dies and Griesinger are regularly quoted and considered authentic despite the fact that their authors were good observers but not musicians, musicology pays little attention to the third contemporary Haydn biography by the musician Carpani (1752[?]–1825).
